in reply to CPAN module strangeness

I have an idea...

Copy that file, the altered one, to a different directory. One of yours, just as a backup.

Now, install the module again, but this time do it properly.

And finally, compare the original file, the file you changed and the result of the installation.

    Thanks for all the comments. Further clarification:

    The module runs with the POD. The only change I've made is removing the comments on lines 8, 22 and 37. And modified lines 10 - 14 to

    require Exporter;
    use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT);
    @ISA = qw(Exporter);
    @EXPORT = qw(fcopy rcopy dircopy);

    As far as installing it properly and looking for the difference, can't seem to do it. From what I've read on various sites module installation is iffy with 10.2.x

    Will be gone for a few hours, will check back this evening.

    thanks again.

      I'm running 10.3.8, so I don't know about that, but... that seems odd... :-\

      I've not had any problems with CPAN under MacOS 10.2, 10.3, or um... any others versions of OS X. (and I've never used 10.0 or 10.1)

      CPAN is your friend. If it throws errors, try posting the error messages, as there's a good chance that people can help out, rather than just skipping it entirely.
